Pocahontas was a chief’s daughter, but she did her share of cooking.

Appone – cornbread. Cornmeal and water was formed into flat patties. Wet leaves (sassafras or cornhusks) were placed around the patty with hot ashes covering the leaves, baking the cornbread. Or could be formed into balls, covered in leaves, and boiled dumpling style.

(she is said to be my great…great grandmother, but that is another story)
